The humanitarian says: It is sad that Bhutto was assasinated, as it is sad almost anytime someone was killed.
The utilitarian says: This event sacrifices one person for the well being of many, and secures the greatest good for the greatest number possible. It has the potential to create a secular martyr, a symbol that has the power to turn the tid for good agaisnt Islamic radicalism in Pakistan and gives Musharraf a mandate to aggressively confront Al Qaeda and the Taliban. The brutality of Al Qaeda is laid bare for all to see, and their chances of ever commanding a majority in Pakistan are dead as of right now. The utilitarian says this isn't a tragedy, it's a turning point.
